"Witch, witch..." Little White Flower murmured softly.
He then quickly threw away the bouquet, rushed forward, and pulled Wu Yue away, pulling her behind him.
Her beautiful, rouge-colored eyes were fixed on the boy in the hospital gown. A hint of nervousness appeared on her face as she said firmly, "Wu Pingxi, it's you, isn't it!"
"Tang, what's wrong?"
Wu Yue couldn't understand why her friend was suddenly angry or even afraid. Her friend's hand was trembling slightly as she held hers, and her palm was damp with sweat.
She had just introduced her brother to Bai Tang before coming to the hospital, and she hadn't even had a chance to say his name. So where did the name Wu Pingxi come from?
"Witch!"
Bai Tang took a deep breath, still somewhat shaken. "There's something I haven't told you. All the male leads I've been pursuing in these transmigration worlds over the years have been the same person, and I learned from the system that only fragments of his soul exist within the male lead's body. I've seen countless different faces of him, and I've also seen his true appearance. I'm certain that your brother's face is that person's—it's Wu Pingxi!"
Bai Tang's speech stunned both Wu Yue and Yan Chiyu.
As everyone froze, Bai Tang frowned, glaring coldly at Cheng Pingxi, her words entirely protective of Wu Yue: "Wu Yue, be careful. Near the end of the mission in the last plane, you killed Lu Bo Kui to help me. That guy is terrifying. I'm afraid he might possess your brother and hurt you, given how vengeful he is! No matter what, I will protect you. If you can't bring yourself to do it, then... then let me..."
Bai Tang sounded a little guilty as she said this.
No, it's not just a little, it's a lot of guilt.
Before embarking on their quick transmigration journey, their seniors warned them not to invest their true feelings during the missions. "You can be sincere with others, but never lose yourself in the process." Everyone understands the principle, but whether they can actually put it into practice is another matter entirely.
Bai Tang knew her skill level wasn't high. After completing hundreds of missions, the feelings she had for Wu Pingxi were far more complex than simply that of a mission taker and a target of her affections.
She once came to a terrible conclusion: in the process of this conquest, she had also been conquered in the heart.
Don't be fooled by her calm and confident demeanor; she's actually trembling with fear.
After listening to Bai Tang's words, Yan Chiyu, an observer, finally understood what she meant. Although he couldn't be 100% sure about the connection between his brother and Wu Pingxi, he was 80% sure... maybe there was one.
"Tang, let me formally introduce you." Wu Yue raised her hand and gently patted Bai Tang's shoulder, her voice still calm and gentle like a clear spring falling on a stone, "This is my brother Cheng Pingxi, my only brother."
Cheng Pingxi calmly lifted his eyelids, his dark eyes gazing indifferently at the people in the ward.
Then, a casual voice drifted out, "You're probably right. While I was unconscious, I dreamt of some strange things, and I felt it very clearly—my dear sister stabbed me with a sword, the sharp blade piercing through my heart. I've never seen such a vivid red before. It was truly... truly a unique experience."
Wu Yue turned her head and quietly looked at the boy's raised eyebrows, a hint of hatred flashing in his dark eyes. She felt a heavy pain in her heart, as if a stone had been thrown down.
Bai Tang looked at Cheng Pingxi with a flustered expression and asked with difficulty, "Are you... complete... now?"
The character Wuwu killed for her was the most twisted of the seven personalities, so twisted that he wanted to drag her down with him. At the time, there was still one personality she hadn't fully completed her character progression with, and she couldn't die. In the end, Wuwu came up with this method: using a special spirit sword to kill the twisted personality.
Even Bai Tang, who loves to let her imagination run wild, couldn't figure out that this personality was actually Wu Yue's brother...
"Xiaoxi."
A gentle voice rang in the boy's ears.
Cheng Xuanwu's right hand landed on Cheng Pingxi's head, gently stroking it. A faint green light emanated from his palm, and his voice was gentle and deep, "I brought you back not so that you would harbor resentment and hatred towards your family. You're still emotionally unstable after waking up, so go back to sleep for a while."
After a moment, the ward fell silent again.
